Scalable Production Technology
in a Compact Benchtop System
The Centramate™ 500 S benchtop tangential flow filtration system provides biotechnology and biopharmaceutical drug developers & manufacturers with an ultra-compact portable unit for process development in ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) applications.Designed for all applications requiring concentration and diafiltration of suspended microparticulates (such as cell suspensions and lysates) or dissolved solutes (such as proteins or nucleic acids), the sanitary, self-venting, fully drainable design meets the demands of cGMP environments, with full traceability of process-wetted materials.Using the Centramate 500 S system for process development, time, risk and process volumes are all minimized.
特点
- Compact Flowpath - the ultra-compact flow path of the Centramate 500 S system allows users to operate at volumes as low as 170mL (when using a single Centramate membrane cassette) enabling high concentration factors and minimizing operating volumes
- Scalable Process Technology - designed through experience, the Centramate 500 S system meets the requirements for cGMP equipment with a comprehensive qualification and documentation package, calibrated process instrumentation and hygienic design
- Direct Flow Measurement - the magnetic inductive flowmeter provides direct flow measurement during operation, making system operation safe, accurate and user- friendly
- High Yield and Product Recovery - the hygienic, completely drainable flow path of the Centramate 500 S system enables high product yield, optimum product recovery and easy cleaning
- Safety in Operation - an adjustable pressure interlock provides product and operator safety in a robust and reliable TFF system
- Pressure Independent Flow - the four-piston diaphragm pump delivers constant flow even as the system pressure increases
- Data Logging Capability - data from the process instrumentation can be exported to a PC or laptop computer via the USB port on the Centramate 500 S system

优势
- The graduated glass vessel provides full visibility and indication of fluid level during operation, so volumes can be closely controlled
- The positive displacement diaphragm pump provides pressure independent flow, ensuring critical parameters do not vary during concentration
- Scalable process technology makes the system ideal for scale-up and scale-down studies
- Direct flow measurement with the magnetic inductive flowmeter means accurate, safe and simple operation
- With an interlock controlling the recirculation pump, operator and product safety is maximized
- To eliminate transcription and recording errors, the Centramate 500 S system has a built in data acquisition system which can be connected to a PC via a USB cable
- The data can be displayed on the screen and exported to the hard drive of a connected computer.The data can be imported easily into Microsoft* Excel*
